Widgets

A widget is a simple application extension that is often part of a larger application already installed on the device. Widgets come in all shapes and sizes, are customizable, and reside on any available Home screen for quick access. Widgets provide you with quick access to information without requiring you to open the app that manages that information. An example is the Google Search widget, which provides you a quick search bar to input or speak keywords into the Google search engine without having to launch the web browser first.
